Missionary Moment - Puerto Rico San Juan & Dominican Republic Santiago West

Buenas tardes! Espero que ustedes pudieran tener una semana buenísimo! Les extraño muchísimo pero les amo más! 

 

This week was just good, nothing terrible or terribly amazing, it was just good. It's one of those weeks where you realize your living a completely different life and this different life is something amazing and teaches you things that you hope to learn and use for the rest of your life, even eternal life. 

 

This week I found myself in many lessons focusing on strengthening families, whether it had been getting them to come or return to church or prepare then to be married to eventually be baptized and enter in the temples to receive many many blessings.

 

This time was a bit different though with many of these visits beginning with fights and arguing and ending very sure with the spirit and tears of growth and progress. 

 

Everytime we had one of these visits there was nothing more we were opted to do other than invite them to do 3 things together as a family. 

 

1. Read the Book of Mormon together as s family

2. Pray as a family

3. Come to Church each week as a family

 

Three simple things that when applied the only that is sacrificed is time. But blessings come in multitudes and power as they bless us individually and as a Family.

 

The issue is when others opt out of doing these things. How come? Why not? What's holding you back and what's more important than bettering yourselves to strengthening your families upon the unmovable, unbreakable rock of Jesus Christ? 

 

I invite each of you all to find time and the willingness to do these things EVERYDAY! 

 

I promise in the name of Jesus Christ that you will be able to command each mountain before you to depart with ease. You will be happier, stronger, focused, prepared.  You will be clear disciple of Jesus Christ and others will have desires to follow your example.  

 

It's a glorious day! Vamos a empezar hoy! Ahora mismo! 

 

I love you all. I miss and pray for you as always! 

 

At you again / Elder Jorgensen
